Whoops, missed your second attachment.  Indeed, that is what I expect,
especially at relatively low node counts.  I think it has been fairly well
demonstrated that straight MPI does alright for weak scaling with decent
sized subdomains.  The trouble, and the place that threading (OpenMP or
otherwise) offers an advantage, is for the very small subdomains you end up
with when strong scaling.
